“The U.S. Senate on Tuesday confirmed lawyer Darrel Papillion to a federal judgeship in Louisiana, after he was backed by both of the state’s Republican senators,” Reuters reports.
“He is the latest of U.S. President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees to be appointed to a federal judgeship in a state with two Republican U.S. Senators. Senate custom dictates that senators must return a ‘blue slip‘ signaling their support before district court nominees in their home states can be confirmed.”
